Bundt Bakers

Syrup Bundt Cakes

#BreadBakers is a group of bread loving bakers who get together once a month to bake bread with a common ingredient or theme. You can see all of our lovely bread by following our Pinterest board right here. Links are also updated after each event on the Bread Bakers home page. We take turns hosting each month and choosing the theme/ingredient.


Root Beer Syrup

When Sue announced this theme, I went into our liquor cabinet.  In addition to liquor we also store all of our mixers, syrups, garnishes, etc. in this cupboard.  I found some green apple syrup, some mango syrup, chocolate syrup, caramel syrup and waaaaaaay in the back was this bottle of Root Beer syrup.

Our son in law, Pierre, is a root beer fan and I think Frank bought this to create a drink for him.  It never got opened.  I decided to rectify that for this event.

Root Beer Bundt

I flavored the cake batter with the syrup and a little ginger. I took it easy on the sugar to adjust for the sweetness of the syrup.

Birthday Cake

I flavored the icing with the rootbeer syrup as well.  We were going to a fish fry at John's to celebrate Kirsten's mom's birthday.  I plated on a paper plate instead of a cake plate and put on the candles before covering to keep the plastic wrap off of the icing.

I brought along some ice cream for serving.  We were all amazed at how delicious this cake turned out.  It was full of root beer flavor and remeniscent of a root beer float.

  1. When I saw your title, I thought maybe you'd be making a reduction out of pop. I'd forgotten about the wide variety of coffee syrups. I have a lot but not the root beer. I'll have to grab some if I see it.
